The Luck of Barry Lyndon
By William Makepeace Thackeray
Length13h 14m
About this audiobook
Follow the rise and fall of an Irish rogue in this picaresque masterpiece that exposes the hollow core of the aristocracy. The narrator, a charming but amoral adventurer, recounts his exploits in dueling, gambling, and marrying into wealth with a total lack of self-awareness regarding his own villainy. Through his unreliable voice, the novel offers a cynical view of the Seven Years' War and the decadent courts of Europe. It is a brilliant study of a scoundrel that challenges the reader to find sympathy for a man who deserves none.
